-A Sad Girl

A sad girl bears wounds skin deep,
listens but hardly speaks.
Behind her smile lies secrets.
Every night tears shed down her cheeks.

A sad girl sees what others fear.
Lays lonely in the dark,
praying and hoping God would listen.
Time passes as she sits in the park.

A sad girl says it's okay when it's not.
Pay close attention to her eyes,
you look up and she looks down.
Her grin is her disguise.

A sad girl never reveals her reality
each day is a new day to keep strong,
so when she hits the point of giving up
she remembers she's been doing this all along.
